This year’s event will discuss the intersections between mental health, social wellbeing, loneliness, and connection. Our interdisciplinary panel of researchers will share their research on critical themes of mental health and social wellbeing. There will be a special emphasis on how these themes connect to UBC's commitment to being a healthy campus and supporting the diverse experiences and perspectives of mental health among our students, faculty, and staff. Participants will also engage in meaningful discussions and take away insights that can inform our collective efforts towards supporting healthy and sustainable workplace and learning environments.  

  • Moderator: Miranda Massie, Workplace Wellbeing Practices and Learning Consultant, Health Wellbeing and Benefits
  • Panelists:
    • Sana Shahram, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Nursing, Okanagan

    • Yeeun Archer Lee, Postdoctoral researcher, Psychology, U of T (St. George), Toronto
